Summary

To step into the future God has prepared, sometimes you have to let go of the past. Gigi Butler’s journey is proof of that. Before she was the founder of the wildly successful Gigi’s Cupcakes, Butler came to Nashville with dreams of a successful music career and ended up cleaning houses. What looked like failure was actually preparation. Failure isn’t final—it’s formation. Gigi Butler joins Pastor Allen in this podcast to share an important reminder that if you’re willing to let go, step out, and trust God, He’ll take your mess and make something beautiful.

It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture. It may feel like an impossible assignment, but there’s much we can do. Join Pastor Allen Jackson as he discusses today’s issues from a biblical perspective. 
Find thought-provoking insight from Pastor Allen and his guests, equipping you to lead with your faith in your home, your school, your community, and wherever God takes you.
